Awesome Saturday Brunch in Watertown/Waltham

So close to Waltham, just had to include it.

My kids love going to Friendly's...well known for the fribble, but not particularly well known for its ambiance or creativity. A good friend stayed over with us on Friday night and on Saturday we all went to the Deluxe Town Diner on Mt. Auburn Street in Watertown.

There was a substantial crowd outside waiting to get in....mostly cambridge-y looking 20 and 30 somethings. It was only a 15 minute wait (and in the meantime, we crossed the street to check out Fastachi. This totally cute store had mounds and mounds of fresh salted nuts, plus chocolates to die for, licorice, etc. I bought caramel lollipops for the boys since we were waiting to have brunch. I think I'll buy xmas gifts from here.)

So we get into the Deluxe and were presented with this menu. Drool drool. It took me at least 20 minutes to decide what I wanted. I ended up getting a rockin western omelette with home fries, homemade wheat toast and endless coffee. My buddy got ployes. (click previous link for more info). Yum! This place is totally original and totally awesome. Go here!
